Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean-
up Measures

Not applicable for product in purchased form. Dust generated from sawing,
sanding, drilling or routing this product may be vacuumed or shoveled for
recovery or disposal. Wood dust clean-up and disposal activities should be
accomplished in a manner to minimize creation of airborne dust.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling

No special precautions for handling product. Use good safety and industrial
hygiene practices. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine
housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on
surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage

Avoid storage where exposure to water could occur or near a source of ignition.
It is recommended to store the product in an area with relative humidity and
temperature that approximates end use conditions. Keep away from sources of
ignition - No Smoking.

Measures/Controls

Adequate ventilation systems as needed to control concentrations of airborne
contaminants below applicable threshold limit values. Due to the explosive
potential of wood dust when suspended in air, precautions should be taken
during sanding, sawing or machining of wood products to prevent sparks or
other ignition sources in ventilation equipment. Use of totally enclosed motors
is recommended.


Respiratory

Use of a NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator is recommended where
airborne dust levels exceed appropriate PELs and TLVs.
Eye/Face

Wear safety glasses.
